Morning Prayer 

And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Inspiration 

Jesus summed up the whole Law of God in the command to love God and to love one's neighbor. Here, John the Apostle tells us that he who commands us to love God commands us to love our brothers in Christ as well. The two are inseparable. We cannot keep or break the one command without keeping or breaking the other.

Prayer 

Lord, let us examine ourselves to see if we are walking in love for our brothers in Christ and in love for you. We cannot love the Father without loving His children also. We cannot love God and hate our brother. Lead us in the paths of love, which are the paths of holiness and of keeping your Word. For love is the fulfilling of the Law. Amen.
